Molly Wood

After studying a Master's of Science in Physician Associate Studies at De Montfort University (Due to graduate in August 2024 and sit the national exam in Sept/Oct 2024), I now have strong aspirations of working within secondary care. I have extensive work experience working in fast paced environments in a number of capacities including management roles.  I believe that I have excellent communication skills with a key focus on care and compassion. I am an extremely enthusiastic worker with a particular interest to further develop my clinical skills which I believe will be extremely suited to a role in general practice. With my previous experience I am able to show that I can work with challenging behaviours and difficult situations professionally.
